LOVE those cage sandals. </p> <p>I like the outfit both ways. I think if you are going for a bit extra polish, the belt, but if you want to relax a bit more, no belt! Either way, you can't lose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----to-bombshell-or-not-to-bomshell#post-731779 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 19:45:09 +0000 Astrid 731779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also prefer it without the belt. You look awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----to-bombshell-or-not-to-bomshell#post-731765 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 19:35:16 +0000 Beth Ann 731765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback! I think the unbelted option won, although many were either/or (like me). And yes, Jonesy, I agree that the belt makes for a more maximal look. I like doo-dads and gee-gaws, but I'm trying to allow the details to shine instead of being lost in the crowd. In this regard, I like without the belt best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----to-bombshell-or-not-to-bomshell#post-731742 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 19:20:21 +0000 Jonesy 731742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I going with unbelted, especially given the bow on the blouse (too much going on to my eye). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----to-bombshell-or-not-to-bomshell#post-731684 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 18:23:26 +0000 lyn67 731684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are fab, depends on your choice, but no belt is more curent to my eyes, no fuss, just simply fab!!

You are gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----to-bombshell-or-not-to-bomshell#post-731382 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 14:06:54 +0000 Transcona Shannon 731382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both looks work, depending on what you're going for. Unbelted has a slightly more casual look and belted gives it the classic, more dressy look. You can't go wrong either way - you look gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----to-bombshell-or-not-to-bomshell#post-731372 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 13:45:08 +0000 Sara L. 731372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the outfit both ways. The belted is a little more figure flattering but the unbelted looks easier and (slightly) more casual. I love, love, love the cage sandals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----to-bombshell-or-not-to-bomshell#post-731303 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 11:07:00 +0000 Ann in New England 731303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How pretty! I dont' have a real preference, and I would say that it depends on what you have going on that day. If you want to appear more polished, then belt, and if you want to be seen as more fun and casual, unbelted. Either way you can't lose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----to-bombshell-or-not-to-bomshell#post-731298 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 10:40:34 +0000 Krista 731298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann, I like both looks and I think you can carry both of them, depending on your preference that day! I prefer belted a little bit more and I think that's only because I am going through a phase of learning how to define my waist (after not defining for many years!) and am always looking for different ways on how to do that. </p> <p>Love the red skirt, though! Smashing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----to-bombshell-or-not-to-bomshell#post-731265 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 08:03:40 +0000 rute 731265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer without the belt! Lovely outfit! Love those shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----to-bombshell-or-not-to-bomshell#post-731260 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 07:26:47 +0000 CocoLion 731260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Belted, but because this outfit calls for that added degree of polish. If you were to wear separates with a more casual vibe, unbelted would be appropriate. </p> <p>Your hair and skin look so pretty. You have lovely, symmetrical features -- classic beauty. Lucky you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----to-bombshell-or-not-to-bomshell#post-731244 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 05:49:32 +0000 ElleH 731244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not experienced enough to know why I prefer unbelted but to my eye that is preferable. You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----to-bombshell-or-not-to-bomshell#post-731232 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 05:09:53 +0000 Beth Ann 731232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great responses from night owls and my overseas (and down under) sisters. </p> <p>JR -- haven't tried the semi tuck. I'll check and see if I have a more suitable belt for the purpose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----to-bombshell-or-not-to-bomshell#post-731229 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 05:06:42 +0000 Caro in Oz 731229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried a semi-tuck? I prefer unbelted too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----to-bombshell-or-not-to-bomshell#post-731227 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 05:04:12 +0000 Kiwibird 731227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for unbelted from me. And those colours look lovely on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----to-bombshell-or-not-to-bomshell#post-731226 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 05:01:48 +0000 jayne 731226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote unbelted also, more casual with the casual type shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----to-bombshell-or-not-to-bomshell#post-731218 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 04:29:49 +0000 Deborah 731218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear this look unbelted so I do favour that look. I think unbelted is quite modern and fresh and creates a great silhouette. Lovely outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----to-bombshell-or-not-to-bomshell#post-731207 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 04:00:59 +0000 Sveta 731207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How funny that the circles on your blouse match the round shapes of water lilies in the Monet's poster! :-)<br /> I prefer unbelted - less fussy and more modern. Love the caged sandals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----to-bombshell-or-not-to-bomshell#post-731205 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 03:58:13 +0000 Carole 731205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit, Beth! I like it best belted, shows off your nice figure! Love the cage shoes, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----to-bombshell-or-not-to-bomshell#post-731204 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 03:57:13 +0000 Anonymous 731204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it both ways. Belted looks more finished, unbelted more carefree. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw----to-bombshell-or-not-to-bomshell#post-731200 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 03:55:22 +0000 Beth Ann 731200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I guess I'm not a true bombshell, but I am finding myself in pencil skirts a lot. I favor ponte, at least to the knee, and like to be free to move throughout my day. I'm undecided on this most recent look. Should I belt or not? I feel unbelted is more modern, but belted is more figure flattering. I opted for my cage shoes to add a little bit of the unexpected, even though my classic pumps would undoubtedly add to my leg line. What's your vote?
